With the 2015 release of their next generation Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, S/4HANA, SAP issued an imperative to the 41,000+ companies globally who use the legacy Enterprise Central Component (ECC) solution – migrate to S/4HANA or risk running a system that SAP will no longer support after 2025. Organizations who use this imperative as a platform to more broadly evaluate the organization’s technology strategy will not only create the foundation for a smooth ERP migration but also support future innovation and digital capabilities.
